What our graduates say
"Programming was just a hobby for me and I simply wanted to learn more about it. When I checked the course contents for the BSc Software Engineering, it was exactly what I was looking for; it offered me the knowledge I was seeking along with professional recognition as a bonus.
"The course helped me build up a lot of knowledge and confidence, and by my final year I was ready to undertake my major project on an MPEG-4 Editor. It became a prize-winning project, and hearing this news was definitely one of the most enjoyable and rewarding moments of my study."
